Hi Simon.
I'm not writing from a position of knowledge. The following is just my
guess at the distinction and a possible use case.

You have some filtering/validation going on on the pre-update hook. The
hook may even force the update to be abandoned.
After this process has done it's stuff you want notification if the
impending update is to occur and so use the Start-Update hook.

There may be different parameters passed into each hook which could also
give an insight to their respective potential uses.
